Thanks for all your nice comments, everyone. Michael had asked me what the weather was like in Adelaide in June.This photo was taken last June at Glenelg and shows you all what nice days we can put on. Claude, c'est le ancien hôel de ville, pas une église.Lynn, you're right. He must be away somewhere.Jules, and to think it was taken in Winter !Terroni, Dive and Gypsy, perhaps the previous rain the night before had made the place look tidy !Utsav, Glenelg is a seaside suburb about 10 k. from the city centre. Adelaide's one and only tram line services this popular destination. You can see the terminus of the tram line on the left.

Lynn, In reference to snakes in South Oz; we never see them, but the TV documentaries love to scare the tourists away. I once saw one when I was a kid. It was on our back lawn after the hose had been left running for hours. In those days, we had the hills at our back doorstep and chickens and farm animals. But never since. They need water, so if you are hiking in Summer near a creek, you have a better chance to see one. We sort of just don't do that too much; and so it goes. Sharks are rare too. Someone gets taken by a shark every few years; - about the same chance as getting hit by a bus or winning the lottery !

I have indeed been duped then, M. Benaut. I had visions of you opening your door each morning and hooking them all out of your way as you made it to your car. lol! Emptying your boots out, oh yes it was all in my mind. Good job, tv docs!

Wow, how did I miss all of this chatter especially dedicated blog post. I bow in your honour. I am packing again for another trip, this time to cold Connecticut, USA so this looks quite nice just the same.

I'm wondering if Juin in Adelaide is like January in S. Florida. A nice chilly brisk breeze in the morning, but warm by the afternoon.
